Re: 3DS MAX 2015 -------Sneak Peek-------
Kees, congratulations on shaderfx coming back to max! I still use the original shaderfx extensively, and along with Ben's DVD's it really helped me in my early years of learning HLSL. No alpha-blending in this new version though? What a bummer! I use alpha blending a lot for mocking up realtime environmental effects like… -
Re: TB2 beta thread
I've been playing around with a couple new features that we'll have in the next release. Namely, additive blending, and parallax mapping. Additive blending is great for creating wet shells around eyeballs. I'm using a normal map with the shape of the outer layer of the eyeball for, and I've set it to additively blend the… -
Light bleedthrough issue
Hey.. Stumbled on another issue I can't quite understand, pic below: http://i.imgur.com/3GGCl.jpg As you can see, in circle number 1 and three, the light from the opposite side of the object bleeds through onto shadow. I got rid of that effect by increasing the lightmap resolution from 64 to 256, but that trick did not… -
Re: UDK "Stonecore"
Awwwwwww yiiiiiis. Documentation time. This write I have two major things to go over. First is going to be my process for sculpting rocks, while the next will be how I went about setting up my vertex paint shader in UDK and the mistakes and solutions encountered along the way. Rock Lobster and/or sculpting So I have never… -

Re: [CE3] Cliff modeling
I would have recommended unwrapping your rock uniquely (do not include soil) then sculpt and bake. Instead of texturing the uniquely unwrapped rock apply your normals and AO as a unified detail map. Then use your blend layers to tile two diff, spec, norm textures across the surface. This will allow you to get high level… -
Re: My game has been released Joy Ride Turbo!
Sorry for the delay, here is some breakdown stuff. As you can see above, Stu our rendering lead has posted some rendering info about our project. Wireframes. Base shader is matte, part of the art direction. Nothing fancy, lambert, no normal maps in our game, couldn't afford the texture ram in the original version. A couple… -
Re: Gina (critique welcome)
@sacboi, I appreciate it, but I wouldn't be able to get as far as I did without knowing these :) I'm mainly working on a simplified version of this mesh and use DataTransfer from it (haven't done any fixes on the final weight-painting yet). The problem is not in tools themselves (as far as I can tell), but more... basic -… -
Re: Hand painted Creature
Hi @Glode Thanks! I'm really glad that you find it interesting :blush: And sure, I can let you know all about my workflow :) 1 -Get a nice concept (which in this case I made it) with an interesting silhouette, proportions and color palette. 2 -Block out the overall shapes and a little bit of details on a 3D sculpt (in my… -
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Because if you're going to wing it and say 'Skirym has reused assets' you might as well say the same thing of ALL games. I don't understand what you were expecting. It's a game with finite resources, they have to optimize and make sure it runs on most machines, if you want bleeding edge state of the art unique textures for…
